The hills surrounding LABspace are inhabited by skilled artists and makers who are keen observers

In the five years that we have been in Hillsdale, these exceptional artists have also looked out for and watched over us

These are artists who are actively engaged with our programming, exhibitions and events

These are friends and neighbors who have come to our aid when we’ve needed help

Gallery life can be hectic. It really does take a village

This exhibition will feature recent paintings, sculpture, ceramics, photography, fiber, installation, and organic work sourced from the natural environment

We are thrilled for you to see the powerful artwork being made in our small hamlet, and within minutes of the gallery

Please join us for this love letter to the artists of Hillsdale + our neighbors

The hills are alive
